binding to antigens on the pathogens.
The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :PYOU ARE THE BEST!
What else can I help you with?
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
What type of cells produce antibodies to destroy pathogens?
B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, are responsible for producing antibodies. These antibodies bind to specific pathogens, like bacteria or viruses, marking them for destruction by the immune system.
Important effector function of antibody molecules is?
The important effector functions of antibody molecules include opsonization, where antibodies mark pathogens for destruction by immune cells, neutralization, where antibodies block the ability of pathogens to infect host cells, and complement activation, where antibodies trigger a cascade of proteins to help destroy pathogens.
Do vaccines destroy viruses only?
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
2 ways in which white blood cells destroy disease-causing micro organisms?
antibodies in the blood kill pathogens in the blood
What body's ability can destroy pathogens before they can cause disease?
The immune system can destroy pathogens before they can cause disease. It does this through mechanisms such as the production of antibodies, activation of immune cells like T cells and macrophages, and the release of cytokines to trigger an immune response against the pathogens.
Do Antibodies prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.?
Yes. Antibodies do prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.
3 ways that antibodies help destroy pathogens?
The antigen itself cannot destroy the pathogen but here are three ways it helps out:1. Antibodies can clump antigens together in order to enhance phagocytosis2. Antibodies can activate the cytotoxic cell responses (a chemical that destroys antibody-bound antigen).3. Antibodies can activate B lymphocytes, which results in the production on plasma and memory cells.
Cells that produce antibodies that help destroy the pathogens are called?

How can pathogens attack the body?
Our antibodies fight off the pathogens.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
To what do antibodies attach on the pathogen?
Antibodies attach to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens.
